In this episode, host Raffaela Marie explores the deep connection between dysfunctional family dynamics and chronic skin picking, uncovering how the roles we adopt in enmeshed families can keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles.

Broadcasting from the stunning Northern Beaches of Sydney, Raffaela also shares an exciting opportunity: a free live Mastermind event on February 9th, where she'll teach her holistic approach to healing at no cost.

This episode is Part 2 of our deep dive into enmeshment, shifting the focus to dysfunctional family roles, like the golden child, hero, scapegoat, and more. You'll learn:

  • How these roles form in enmeshed families and why they persist.
  • The impact of these roles on your self-worth, emotional regulation, and behaviors.
  • How to recognize your role and break free to reclaim your authentic self.

This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to step beyond outdated family dynamics and reclaim your freedom, authenticity, and healing journey. 💡✨
